And dang, that is a sweet combination of Last.fm, Dropbox, and Myspace. pretty much means every dubstep artist would be somewhere in those database breaches. It was just a matter of finding the right username or email to use because those three sites were used a lot by musicians. Dropbox is extremely popular for file sharing.

And if a musician has a label or a manager or someone else that they're collaborating with, sharing their work in progress on Dropbox is very common in this circle. Last.fm and MySpace are places where you can go to post your music, which when you're an up-and-coming artist, you definitely want to be posting everywhere. And yes, MySpace is still around.

So, yeah, I'm just imagining, like, wait, hold on a second. We've got Skrillex's password. It works on an old Skype account. This has got to be the pinnacle of the whole story.

Nice job, Skrillex. Either he wasn't reusing passwords or heard about this database breach and changed all his passwords. Either way, he was ahead of the hackers here. And my goodness, if they got into Skrillex's Dropbox, that would be the most epic thing, to hear his latest stuff before anyone else. That would be insane.

Hot diggity. That's, I mean, I don't know if you're seeing it the way I'm seeing it, but that's got to be the biggest find ever so far, at least in this story.

Whoa, what a weird moral compass that is. They knew breaking into someone else's account is wrong. But their attitude was, if it's not us who breaks in, it'll surely be someone else who breaks in and they could cause big problems. So it's better that we do it so we can fix it.

And for the incentive of getting in and fixing it, we'll just take a listen to whatever we find along the way and just keep it for ourselves.

Oh, wow. Dino was that guy who stole things from Excision and then leaked that stuff to other people, then tried to blame Professor Dubstep for the leak.

Oh, interesting. It's almost like there are two teams on this now, Spintire and Professor Dubstep, and then Dino and Shane. Spying on the other team might be really useful here.

What accounts of like your Skype account?

Oh, so Dino's talking with Shane like, hey, you have Professor Dubsteps. Do you see them in this at all in the data? Yeah, I see them in the database. Oh, cool. Let's check their password. Try logging in. Like, this is the chats you saw. And then it's like, no, it didn't work. Oh, bummer.
